can someone help me please i have an 2001 jaguar s type 3.0 shes been sitting for a (WHILE) cause i had her in the shop getting it painted and all that good stuff but now that i got it home she will not fire up. she was out of gas when i towed her to the house so i put 4 gallons in there and gave it a shot and still no fire. She started with no problem before, can anyone help with this please?

 

I'm no professional but it sounds like you could use some help: so the first thing that I would check is for fuel pressure. There should be a "Schrader Valve" with a cap on it on the fuel rail. (know what that is?) Put the ign. key in the run position and wrap rags around the valve to catch the fuel spray and then push on the valve. (it's just like a tire valve so take off the cap first) See if fuel sprays out.
If no spray, you likely have a fuel pump problem. Check the fuse and if it's good, I suggest that because of your inexperience, that you have the car towed to a reputable garage because things are going to get a lot more complicated.
You mentioned that the car was out of gas. Not a good idea to run low on fuel (as my wife found out the hard way after being warned ) in any injection motor. Fuelpumps are cooled by being immersed in fuel and will burn out if you let the gas regularly get down too low.
Perhaps someone else can help more, but good luck with the car.

 

+1 on that

 

Will try it when I get off work

 

After she's properly fueld hold the gas pedal down to the floor while cranking her in 15 second intervals. It may take several attemps till she fires up.

 

Sorry guys been working 2jobs haven't had time to check it out I'm off today so I'll check some fuses then go along with these methods I will keep u guys updated

 

Fuel pump relays can be a pain for sticking.. try that first.

 

That's exactly what I'm checking first wish me luck guys

 

Check: interia switch first (under drivers side - front panel) black unit with a red button - make sure the button is pressed in all the way, then check/replace the fuel filter (behind driver's side front wheel inner fender) - if you see any blackish silt or any solids coming out of the fuel filter - means your fuel pump is done. If this checks then check fuel pump relay in trunk and fuses related to fuel pump. If nothing, you can check to ensure your fuel pump is getting power. I had my 2000 Jag sitting for 6 mos and same issue - no start - checked all above and I wound up replacing both fuel pumps - yes, one pump is the pump and the other is the sender - both located under the rear seats. Hope this helps - good luck.

 

Hey guys finally went to work on the feline went through a lot of checking and after checking fuses and relays went to the source yep (fuel pump) my problem was the fuel pump got one for $119 including the filter she works like a charm now by the way the tank was super clean i was surprised to see that i want to thank you guys for the information and tips I learned a lot of locations of thing on the vehicles just buy doing the step you all stated now since I know she'll run I think I'll go ahead and start disassembling the manifold so that I can change the spark plugs and all that good stuff clean her up and do all the fluid
